Frequently Asked Questions
The neck pot pulls to access a clear, airy chime, while the bridge pot engages a brighter, overwound single-coil voice on both pickups – offering distinct tonal shifts.
While they handle drop tunings decently, the lower tunings might reveal a slight lack of extreme high-gain saturation compared to hotter pickups.
The Fluence design provides a remarkably responsive and dynamic feel, similar to traditional pickups, but with a quieter and more consistent output.
